Far too often on digital, people had their boxes set to 4:3 centre cut out even when they had widescreen TVs, I can't count the amount of times I saw people watching with the centre cut stretched across the screen, the TVs in my gym were still like it until they were removed in a refurb last year. In fact I wouldn't be suprised to find that at one time that's how the majority of people with widescreen TVs were watching, it seems to only have been TVs with integrated digital recievers and HD which are 16:9 by default which stopped it.
